Time To Boycott Maine Lobster- After All, God Says Consuming It Is An Abomination
11/04/09-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
If Maine wants to abide by God’s Law, then it is time that they abide by God’s Law. The Bible is clear- shellfish is an abomination. It is not to be eaten. It is time that the LGBT community and their allies help ensure that the people of Maine are not breaking God’s Law and helping to ensure that a group of people do not sully their souls by catching those crustaceans known as lobsters and it is time to put them off or menus. If the Catholic Church and the National Organization for Marriage can buy out the Maine vote, then it is time that we stop buying Maine’s lobsters. Obviously, the citizens of Maine have another product that they can sell, so they do not need for people to buy their lobsters.
Leviticus is clear. Lobster, as a shellfish, is on the list of unclean and forbidden animals to be eaten. Lobsters have neither fins nor scales and are not considered to be clean.
It is the duty of the LGBT Community to ensure that those who seek to inhabit the shadows and hide their beliefs behind a veil of secrecy share in the cleansing of a group of people who put their souls at risk to harvest unclean animals for the consumption of others.
The time has come to not buy Maine lobster.
After all, it is God’s Law that it not be consumed.

That’s cute and all, but I’m not sure you understand what the author is saying. While they’re voting against civil liberties because "God doesn’t want it", they’re actively supporting something else that "God doesn’t want". He’s drawing this comparison to help illustrate why it’s absurd to base the wellbeing of someone’s life on an argument such as this. That’s okay though, not all of us have the time to read the article.

>Does this mean I can pick the parts I like and ignore the parts I don’t too? Yes, and then you are responsible to God for your choices. Oh, and blaming the Bible does not excuse any illegal or socially unacceptable conduct until then.

I have. Your point? I suspect you are particularly referring to verses 26-32: 26 That is why God abandoned them to degrading passions: 27 why their women have exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural practices; and the men, in a similar fashion, too, giving up normal relations with women, are consumed with passion for each other, men doing shameful things with men and receiving in themselves due reward for their perversion. 28 In other words, since they would not consent to acknowledge God, God abandoned them to their unacceptable thoughts and indecent behaviour. 29 And so now they are steeped in all sorts of injustice, rottenness, greed and malice; full of envy, murder, wrangling, treachery and spite, 30 libellers, slanderers, enemies of God, rude, arrogant and boastful, enterprising in evil, rebellious to parents, 31 without brains, honour, love or pity. 32 They are well aware of God’s ordinance: that those who behave like this deserve to die — yet they not only do it, but even applaud others who do the same. http://www.catholic.org/bible/book.php?id=52 Read it literally, and it appears Paul is saying homosexual conduct is a perversion. Read it allegorically or just in context, though, and Paul is simply appealing to what people of the time understood as evil, degrading conduct *precisely because they relied on the Old Testament*. Nothing in this passage, though, changes Jesus’ injunction that it is up to God to judge our faith and conduct, not other people. Paul correctly cites the Old Testament rule, but he does not take the next step, and tell his readers to intervene in the behavior of these others.

Not me I don’t want it irrespective of what "god" says.

But of course. I will call him as soon as I finish my sauteed stew of peacock tongues and polish my monacle.

>Oh, and blaming the Bible does not excuse any illegal or socially unacceptable conduct until then. So because somebody believes in your god they can’t be held responsible for what your god tells them to do?

>So because somebody believes in your god they can’t be held responsible for what your god tells them to do? No, that’s the opposite of what I said. Society will hold them responsible for their conduct on earth, and God will later judge what is in their hearts. The Bible is not a "Get Out of Jail Free Card."
